 | Amsterdam Red Light District Reviews | 1 - 10 of 50 |  |
If you are strolling along the Red Light District and you want to shoot some pics of this area, make sure you don't take detailed pics of the "ladies". If you do so, there is a change that their pimp will take your camera away or just destroy it. So be warned. Leave a Comment

Don't take pictures of the ladies behind the windows. It is not appreciated, and that is not very strongly expressed.
The picture was to show another lady behind a window. An old lady looking down to the street. Maybe waiting for a relative, or a friend. Maybe just curious what happened outside. Some houses even have special mirrors next to the windows for the people to look down on the street.
But as you can see the lady is perfectly hidden by the curtains. So do as we did, and don't take pictures !! Leave a Comment

Hents: A little feed back from a friend of mine (who said I could use his information) on how to pick a good hooker. Some of these gals wash after a customer. Then when you pick her, she jumps into a shower so you can see she is clean again. However, not all the girls do this. Some, he says, are busy little beavers, and smell like one too.
Don't bring anything with you if your going cruzen for whores in the red light district at night, just the money honey. Keep your head clear (as clear as you can be) and keep your money back in your hotel safe, bring enough for some loven and leave the place like you left it. Pack it out baby!
Here is the lowdown: Prostitution has been legal in the Netherlands since Napoleon made it so in 1815 and in 1996 the Dutch government started to tax it. According to statistics there are now more than 25000 prostitutes in the Netherlands and over half of these are said to be illegal immigrants. Sex always involves a condom and costs around 50 euros for oral and then full sex. There are also many brothels, both low and high class. In high-class brothels such as Yab Yums sex can cost upwards of 150 euros an hour. Leave a Comment

If you are planning on exploring the Red Light District at night by yourself then be careful! I've visited this city three times and people have tried to mug me three times. You will know the really bad areas when you see them if you have some street smarts. I just shoved the guy and walked away all three times somebody tried to mug me. I'm sure you could get hurt doing this but don't just give up your money to some loser who asks for it. Leave a Comment

I wanted to see the Red Light District. I didn't believe everybody who had been there when they said what it was really like. Um...it is. Be prepared for nudity in the windows and the many, many sex shops. Be careful taking pictures of the women in the window. That can cause a fight. I don't recommend going at night. We went during the day and we didn't stay long. Long enough for me to say I went. Leave a Comment

It is probably the most known fact, but anyway...no photos in Red light area, if you want to see your camera again!! Except the Old church, of course :-)))))
During the day RLD is quite safe, when gets dark, it is better not go alone. Leave a Comment

Well, I had the chance to stay in the Red Light District, in Amsterdam. Now, if there's any place you're going to be victim to a violent crime, it's right in the RLD. The fact is though, it's quite safe. The key here is to keep moving, don't stand around. You're going to be approached by numerous drug dealers, homeless and just plain crazies. Just keep it cool and you shall be all right. You'll begin to find it funny how often you're offered 'coca, coca' or 'ecstacy'. As for the rest of Amsterdam, it's all pretty safe, but you must use caution at all times during the day. Don't be dumb and don't worry, just be cool. Leave a Comment

When walking around Red light District you will see signs NO PHOTOS. Take them seriously unless you run really fast :) If you try to take photos of the girls in the RLD, you are just calling for your camera to get smashed (if not yourself). Leave a Comment

The red light district of Amsterdam, this place really is smuggy by night, and makes you think twice about the city, but i guess its just like any other big city, it has its problems. Leave a Comment

You'll want to take a look at the red light district, but once you have seen it get out of there. It's especially intimidating during the daytime and we found that the best way to deal with the pushers was to ignore them. Leave a Comment
